They could've got the same point across if they used a crowd of mixed people  but it was the West Indies CRICKET TEAMS SUPPORTERS...poor AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM supporter stuck in the middle. Race WASNT an issue..til it was posted on Youtube. as ujustme has said, you need to see the WHOLE SERIES to get the CONTEXT!!!! Chill already Agreed prb. The other ads in the series include: One where, while sitting in the crowd (a normal 'mixed' part), he allows his mate sitting next to him to be hit by an incoming "six" (the equivelant of a baseball "homerun") then he steals the dude's KFC... Another one is at his house and his love-struck room-mates are making too much noise and he can't hear the TV broadcast - so he gives them KFC... And another where he pretends to be a security guard to get front row seats... The point being - the ads are funny because the guy's a twat  . It has NOTHING to do with the 'black man loves chicken' racist stereotype. That's an American stereotype that most people in the rest of the world wouldn't even be aware of.
Unlike most American sports where the teams are made up of cities and states, international cricket is the cricketing competition that people follow. I imagine if this ad was a baseball ad and the dude was a Yankee fan stuck in a Dodgers area no one would be complaining. But unlike American sports, the fact that it is an international competition means that the majority of each team's supporters will be of that countries most populous race. The West Indies cricket team is famous for their loud and patriotic supporters who bring percussion and stuff to their matches - it's a bit of a cricketing tradition. But just like any sport, you know damn well that if you're surrounded by people who support the opposite team to you, you're going to get a total jeering if their team take the lead - regardless of race!!

Prince hasn't been vegan for a very long time. have you caught him eating a burger? 
I remember when he went through his white foods phase - was that even true?
fish, mashed potatoes, cauliflower, rice, … kind of a limited diet, I can't even think of more white foods, peeled radishes parsnips!  | |

I like my food as colourful as possible I'm crazy about purple and green and red and yellow and orange 
last night I had grilled barramundi at the pub and the lady gave me a choice of: potatoes and salad chips and salad potato and vegies and I swear I paused for about 1 minute before asking could I have vegies and salad and she was sooooo surprised (eeeew what kind of freak doesn't like potatoes?!?!?!) and when my meal came it was awesome  YUM! | |

ScarletScandal said: RIIIIIGHT!!! I see it now! Just that one racist incident in a series of non-racist incidents totally justifies the racism! OMG! Why didn't I see it before!! It's not racist though. It's a cricketing rivalry FFS. They have a rivalry with English cricket too but picture the scene if they'd used the English in their commercial. The Aussie would have been the loud pissed one surrounded by a load of English with their eyebrows raised and arms folded. Maybe one of the English would tut. RIP  | |
